Recently, Barry was promoted to APL of the Eagle patrol, but suspiciously enough considers Eagle to be his "2nd favourite patrol". This year he was 3rd man on our Phoenix team and had a leading role in our sketch. According to other peoples interviews, Barry is considered to be one of the funnier members of the troop.

Scout Interviews Glenn O' Donovan

Glenn O'Donavan is one of those scouts that seem to be here for ever.
He joined the troop in Sept. 02 and for most of that time is has been in the Swift.
He has 4 Expeditions and 2 Campcraft under his belt which must be a record of some sort.
Glenn also helps out with our Cub pack and I'm sure he will make a fine leader with us someday.
